Chapter 1166: Holding hands!



Chapter 1166: Holding hands!

Morning.

After 7 am.

The air is damp, and the roads are foggy. The Land Rover drove slowly along the roads.

“It’s foggy today.”

“The weather has been quite bad recently.”

“Huh? What’s wrong, Old Yan?”

“Nothing. I…. I got motion sickness.”

Yao Cui was driving, and Chen Xiaomei sat in the front passenger seat. Yan Yizhi sat with Dong Xuebing at the back.

Dong Xuebing asked when he noticed Yan Yizhi’s face was pale.

Yan Yizhi rubbed the center of his brows and said. “I don’t have motion sickness when I sit in small cars. Maybe your car’s suspension is too good, and I am not used to it.” He swallowed his saliva and joked. “I don’t have a good life. I cannot travel in good cars.” Mayor Dong’s Land Rover is the most luxurious car Yan Yizhi has ever sat in. It is comfortable, and he cannot feel anything when the car goes through potholes. It is powerful, and the interior is beautiful. Maybe he got motion sickness because it was too comfortable.

Chen Xiaomei turned and asked. “Do you want to wind down the windows slightly?”

Yan Yizhi waved his hand. “It’s useless. I do feel sick when I travel on buses. I need to look at the road in front to feel better. Can I change seats with you, Old Chen?”  

Chen Xiaomei replied. “sure.”

Dong Xuebing said. “Xiao Yao, stop by the side for a while.”

Yan Yizhi said. “Sorry, Mayor Dong.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “It’s fine. My motion sickness was worse than yours. It got better after I started driving.”

The car stopped. Chen Xiaomei and Yan Yizhi switched places, and they continued on their way.

One minute….

Five minutes….

“How are you feeling, Old Yan?”

“Ah…. Much better.”

“Good.”

Yao Cui started to speed up.

Yan Yizhi looked at the foggy road and took deep breaths.

Chen Xiaomei adjusted her sitting position and moved nearer to the center.

Dong Xuebing glanced at Chen Xiaomei. She is wearing a short jacket and a long white dress with blue flowery designs. The helms of her dress reached her calves, and she was wearing beige stockings and leather shoes. Her dress was more modern and sweeter today than in their previous meetings. He was thinking about how are they going to take back the fund. But the car could not go fast in the fog, and he stopped thinking about it. He turned and looked at the pretty Chen Xiaomei.

Chen Xiaomei noticed and looked at Dong Xuebing.

Their eyes met, and Dong Xuebing looked away.

Chen Xiaomei took out her phone and played with it. She was not embarrassed or uncomfortable.

Beep… beep…. Dong Xuebing’s phone sounded. It’s a message.

Dong Xuebing seldom sends messages because he feels it’s troublesome. He preferred to call, and he ignored the SMS.

Beep… beep…. His phone sounded again.

Dong Xuebing took out his phone unwillingly and looked at it.

He was slightly surprised when he saw Chen Xiaomei’s number.

Dong Xuebing checked his messages, which were sent from Chen Xiaomei.

Huh? You are sitting beside me. Why are you sending an SMS to me?

First message: Hello, Mayor Dong.

Second message: Is there anything wrong with my clothes today?

Dong Xuebing paused for a second and looked at Chen Xiaomei. But Sister Chen was not looking at him. She was looking at her phone.

Dong Xuebing smiled to himself wearily and replied after some thoughts: Clothes? It’s fine. Why do you ask?

Sent.

Chen Xiaomei had switched his phone to silent mode. There were no alerts. She checked the message.

Beep… beep….

Dong Xuebing received a reply from her.

Chen Xiaomei replied: Nothing. I saw you looking at me earlier and thought something was wrong with my clothes.

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and replied: Your clothes are excellent, and they suit you.

Chen Xiaomei: Thank you, Mayor Dong. I like your clothes too. They make you look smart.

Dong Xuebing: I did not think much about my clothes. I wear whatever is available.

Chen Xiaomei: No. Your clothes are nice every time I see you. You have good taste. I cannot compare with you.

Dong Xuebing: I am the one who cannot compare with you. It’s useless to wear nice clothes as I am not good-looking. You are pretty, and you will look good in anything.

Chen Xiaomei: I am an old woman.

Their chat was becoming flirty, and Dong Xuebing didn’t know how to continue.

Chen Xiaomei was still looking down without any expression.

Beep… beep….

Dong Xuebing received another message.

Chen Xiaomei: Did you do that on purpose that day?

Dong Xuebing was shocked and pretended not to know what she was discussing: Which day?

Chen Xiaomei: At Wang Fu Hotel. When I go to your room.

Dong Xuebing quickly typed out the reply: It was an accident. I explained to you. My wife was coming, and the room’s lights were off. I mistook you for her. I’m sorry. I still have not apologized to you properly after we got back. I will treat you to dinner when you are free.

Chen Xiaomei: It’s okay. But I was shocked when a hand reached under my top that day. : )

Dong Xuebing blushed: Err…. The room was too dark.

Chen Xiaomei: Yes. I know. Let’s not talk about it again. This is embarrassing.

Dong Xuebing: I think there’s still an hour or two before we reach. Do you want to take a nap?

Chen Xiaomei replied: My child had diarrhea last night, and I slept little. I am feeling a bit sleepy now. But you and Chief Yan are in the car. It’s not nice for me to sleep now.

Dong Xuebing: It’s all right. Just take a nap if you are tired.

Chen Xiaomei: It is disrespectful to sleep now.

Dong Xuebing looked up at Yao Cui. “How long more before we reach?”

“Err…. We should need about an hour more.” Yao Cui replied.

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Then I will take a nap. Chief Yan, Chief Chen, you all must be tired and should rest for a while.”

Dong Xuebing sent an SMS to Chen Xiaomei: You can rest now.

Chen Xiaomei did not look at Dong Xuebing and continued to type on her phone: Thank you, Mayor Dong.

Chen Xiaomei kept her phone and closed her eyes.

Dong Xuebing glanced at Chen Xiaomei’s body. The car was warm, and she had unbuttoned her jacket. Because of her height, Dong Xuebing could see her cleavage. Her breasts bounced and swayed as the car drove through the potholes. It was very tempting.

Although Chen Xiaomei looks slightly above average, her mature body is still attractive to Dong Xuebing.

Sigh… I should stop looking at her.

Dong Xuebing closed his eyes to rest. After the short SMS exchanges with Chen Xiaomei, he was not as angry as before.

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

Half an hour….

The car was still traveling.

Dong Xuebing was getting sleepy and felt something touching his hand when he was about to fall asleep.

Huh?

Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and looked.

It was Chen Xiaomei’s hand.

Chen Xiaomei should be sleeping. Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing evenly. Her left hand dropped onto the seat and touched Dong Xuebing’s hand. Their fingers were touching.

Dong Xuebing moved his hand away slightly and closed his eyes again. A while later, he felt someone touching his hand again.

Huh?

What is going on?

Dong Xuebing saw Chen Xiaomei’s hand had moved closer. He looked in front. Yao Cui was driving, and it was very foggy. She was focused on the road in front and did not look at the back. Yan Yizhi was not feeling well and had fallen asleep. He looked at the rear-view mirror and noticed the angle. The driver will not see their hands unless she turns.

Slowly, Dong Xuebing felt someone holding his hand softly.

Chen Xiaomei’s eyes were closed, but she was not sleeping.

Dong Xuebing does not know how to react and pretends to be sleeping.

Chen Xiaomei was tickling his palm.

Chen Xiaomei was scratching Dong Xuebing’s palm softly.

Dong Xuebing remained still.

After that, he felt Chen Xiaomei rubbing his palm with her thumb. It was more ticklish than earlier.

No… no….

It’s unbearable!

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and thought to himself. No one could see what they were doing. He grabbed Chen Xiaomei’s hand and kneed it.

Chen Xiaomei stopped moving.

Dong Xuebing also stopped moving.

Dong Xuebing released his grip after about thirty seconds, and Chen Xiaomei pulled her hand back. After that, he heard her yawning next to him.

Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and looked at Chen Xiaomei, covering her mouth.

Dong Xuebing said. “Woke up?”

Chen Xiaomei smiled and nodded. “Did you take a nap too?”

Dong Xuebing thought to himself. How can I take a nap with you teasing me? But he still nodded. “We are reaching.”

Dong Xuebing did not plan to do anything with Chen Xiaomei. However, he will not reject any teasing from her. Sigh…. I must stop this bad habit.
